JOAN SARDÀ
SOTAVENT
100% Xarel·lo
Joan Sardà Sotavent is a pale yellow wine with greenish reflections. Xarel·lo is the quintessential variety from the D.O. Penedès; it is well-adapted to the soil and micro-climates in the region and gives this wine its fruitiness. On the nose, it is intense, with a pronounced fruity expression, particularly notes of white fruit (apple and pear) as well as yellow fruit (peach and apricot). As the wine is left to breathe, it unveils floral notes which blend with the fruity aromas of the variety and the varietal character of this wine. It is elegant and silky, and has a lovely lingering finish.
This wine is ideal to pair with blue cheese, seafood, grilled fish and fresh pasta.


Wine-making process
Once the grapes are taken into the cellar, they are destemmed and crushed. This is followed by a short cold maceration to extract maximum aromatic potential. After that, the grapes are gently pressed and undergo static draining. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks for about 15 days at low temperatures in order to preserve varietal aromas.
The wine is then aged on lees for one to two months, depending on the harvest.

ANCORAT
100% Sumoll negre blanc de noirs
A wine whose name, despite being an element related to the marine and naval world, refers to the roots, to the act of clinging to the earth.
With an extreme length, this wine is mainly characterized by its freshness. Using its acidity as the backbone, it is light, well shaped and lateral, with fresh sensations typical of the Penedès white wines’ personality. The citric and aromatic herbs such as fennel, anis flavour and mint stand out.
It is a very versatile wine. Perfect from the beginning of the meal to whet your appetite, it also pairs in an excellent way with dishes containing fat, such as Ibérico cured meats, rice dishes or pork meat with sauce. It is also ideal for more traditional pairings such as shellfish.


Wine-making process
Grapes coming from a vineyard of between 60 and 70 years of age, picked up by hand in 20 kg boxes, pressed in a smooth way and slowly debourbaged.
40% of the wine is aged in stoneware barrels for 4 months- natural cooking material, which, owing to its little porosity, is most suitable for white wines-, another 30% of the wine is aged for 4 months in oak and chestnut barrels- in the same proportion for both types of Wood-. The other 30% of the wine remains in stainless steel tanks.
